Canada TV Update

Introduction

This Canadian TV update provides a concise overview of recent trends in the Canadian TV and OTT market.

Highlights

Pay-TV penetration peaked at 91.2% in 2011 and has fallen marginally every year since then, hitting 85.8% in 2015. The expectation is that pay-TV penetration will continue to drop, albeit slowly, in the period to 2021 (reaching 82.5% in that year).

Although OTT video services are challenging the established pay-TV market, all the major existing operators have sensibly invested in their own TV Everywhere and OTT products and services.
